3 Insert battery
If your Freestyle 80 Plus is your only phone, you
should fit back-up batteries so that it can always
be used in emergencies.
To fit back-up batteries, slide the cover off
towards the right and insert 8 new AAA
alkaline batteries (not supplied) as shown in
the diagram above. The power light on the
base unit light up. The battery removal
ribbon should be placed under the lower
layer of batteries. Pulling the ribbon will help
you remove of the batteries when they need
replacing. Replace the battery compartment
cover.
Back-up batteries will only engage when the
battery compartment cover is correctly replaced.
Good quality, fresh batteries should last about
six months. To ensure constant battery back-
up, replace the batteries every six months.
(for back-up only)
Remember that
the flat ends of the
batteries should be
pressed against the
springs.
